May 19th, Sunday

Summer was pushing its way into the late May afternoon as I set out for a lazy recovery run on the roads. I hoped that yesterday’s hamstring ache would not be a factor as I moved along cautiously. I used my MMF strategy and managed to insert 10 serious  2 to 3 minute SS in between some walking segments.   The pace averaged 12:15 for a total of 48:55.  The first mile was over 14 minutes with warm-up walking. The final three miles were closer to 11 minutes.  My Garmin recorded the SS at between 7:30 and 8:30 pace.  No hamstring issues!  Finished pretty tired and very wet. This turned out to be a better-than-expected run. It’s amazing how a few cars are on the road in Jackson on a Sunday afternoon.
